Housesitting in Coín, Malaga

We had been trying to make a Europe house sit line up and we finally found some dates that worked…with 3, soon to be 4 German shepherds and 2 cats…what could possibly go wrong?

A lovely Irish/English couple with a cool house and gorgeous pool in the countryside near Malaga awaited us. The dogs were super friendly, until Dan decided to play fetch and chaos unfolded! Let’s just say you should never interfere with 4 play fighting dogs with sharp teeth! A Nick to the wrist and a hospital trip later, it was certainly a rocky start!

We relaxed by the pool for a few days and enjoyed the last of our Europe summer sun 🥲 before an adventure to the lakes. We hiked the Caminito del Rey which was spectacular (minus the totally unnecessary helmets!) it was once the most dangerous walkway in the world but has recently been renovated leaving a gorgeous (still slightly terrifying) path along the cliffs.

A 2-3 hour walk one way with a refreshing radler awaiting us at the other end. 😅

And just like that, a year of chasing the summer sunshine was over…もっと詳しく
